Chapter 1
The sun was shining unmercifully upon a boy with damp red hair that was usually puffy. He had tired cerulean blue eyes. His green, long sleeved shirt and long blue jeans were inappropriate for this kind of weather. Withered trees with barely any leaves surrounded the dirt road his worn sneakers silently trod on. Sweat was dripping of Kenny's face and he saw heat waves in the distance. He was on his way to Sunyshore City from Hearthome City for his next contest. 'Why did this trip have to be so damn long?' thought Kenny. 'I better drink something before I faint from dehydration...Wait! I have an idea!'. Kenny hastily pulled a pokeball from his old green leather bag.
"Come out Prinplup" Kenny ordered.
"Prinplup prin (wow boss! you look exhausted.)" chirped prinplup.
"Yeah I am. And I'm also thirsty. Just use water gun on me and don't use it so hard that you push me of my feet. I just want a drink of water okay." said Kenny rather rudely.
"Prinplup (you asked for it boss)."replied prinplup.
A small amount of water burst through prinplup's beak and into Kenny's mouth. Prinplup decided to soak his whole body for the fun of it but he accidentally went overboard with the water gun and Kenny fell to the ground. When prinplup was finished, Kenny's body was drenched with ice cold water. 'This actually feels refreshing' thought Kenny as he stood back up, but then he realized Prinplup disobeyed his orders.
"Can you be more careful Prinplup? Try not to soak my clothes with water next time. Thanks anyways." Kenny sighed. "Return".
"Prinplup (Aye Aye Cap'n)" chirped Prinplup as the red light surrounded him and he disappeared into the pokeball.
"Only three more miles to go till Sunyshore City. I'm gonna get my third ribbon!" said Kenny under his breath. He knew he was going to get into the Grand Festival. He just knew it. I know I can do it! My pokemon and I have been working hard for this and now Dawn won't be able to beat me! As his thoughts came to this conclusion, he started to ponder whether or not she would be there and if not, where was she? No, she was probably there, already training hard and getting pumped while Ash and Brock gave her encouraging words and good advice. Kenny silently chuckled to himself as he thought of his clumsy childhood friend and walked along the dirt road. The sun was still shining on him, but he kept on going since he was only two miles away.
Then something glimmering under the sunlight suddenly caught his eye and he ran up to it. He surprisingly found himself looking into a huge lake.
A/N: I decided to put a cliffhanger there! This is my first story. Please review and no flames!
